Chapter 58 Fighting The Swordmaster
BOOM!
The giant swordmaster crashed down with his Great Sword and the sound induced was like that of rumbling thunder.
-----
Passive ability has been triggered: Jungle Cruise!
----
Legolas was only fast enough to dodge the sure-death attack due to his passive ability that got triggered on time. This time, he escaped death by the skin of his teeth and instantly, his sweat started dropping like water from a tap.
"HOW DARE YOU INFILTRATE MY DOMAIN?!"
The deep powerful voice of the swordmaster reverberated like thunder as he directed his anger at the intruders who dared to target his domain.
That one attack was all it took for Blue River and the others to give up.
Grade D superhumans were far stronger than Grade E superhumans, and due to his towering size, the 2 players felt like they were up against a god.
They were already ready to give up the mission until they heard Legolas's voice. "Listen to my instructions, he is not invincible!"
At this moment, after barely dodging the swordmaster's attack, Legolas rolled further away even as the swordmaster and the other psychopaths of the Clown Society surrounded them completely.
Legolas spoke as fast as he could since time was against them.
"No matter what you do, do not leave the prince to die!"
"Protect him!"
"I will find a way out of this situation!"
They did not know why, but hearing Legolas's confident voice despite the current situation, the 2 players calmed down as Blue River finally started thinking rationally again. He raised his pistols instantly and started shooting.
While he shot, Blue River protected Prince Christensen with his body.
As he saw him fighting, this was when Horny Assassin finally returned to reality. "Right, he may be powerful but he's not invincible!"
"Afterall, I will not die so what am I afraid of?"
"Faction Leader, let me prove my loyalty with my life!"
Horny Assassin yelled and instantly, fire erupted and surrounded his fists that were covered with the boxing gloves. In this state, Horny Assassin yelled and punched randomly as he killed 3 psychopaths in an instant.
His momentum was not stopped as he continued forward.
With Blue River protecting the prince and Horny Assassin causing such a commotion, Legolas finally found the time to think and strategize as he scanned the whole underground in an instant.
Escaping through the main passage was impossible since dozens of psychopaths filled there, the only other way was through the secret passageway.
"This way!"
-----
You have activated active ability: Combat Master!
----
Rex yelled as he waved his sword, killing 2 more psychopaths and creating a small pathway through the dozens of psychopaths that were blocking his way.
Once they heard him yell, Horny Assassin and Blue River sprinted in that direction with the prince as they tried to escape.
The swordmaster was angered!
Not only did these petty intruders ignore his question, they tried to escape before his nose, did they take him for a fool or a dead man?
"Arrogant fools! Die!!!"
The swordmaster finally flexed his powerful pugilist energy as a berserk red energy surrounded the blade edge of his great sword.
The swordmaster took a heavy step which induced an effect like an earthquake, then he started rotating forward as his great sword sliced with unstoppable momentum, killing even his own subordinates in the process.
Horny Assassin was caught first in the storm and he stood no chance.
Horny Assassin was sliced apart as he dissipated into light particles.
Blue River was next, but he grabbed and threw the prince towards Legolas before dying to the great sword movement of the swordmaster.
Legolas was not left unscathed, as soon as he caught Prince Christensen, he saw the glistening edge of the blade slicing towards him.
For the first time since reincarnating, Legolas saw death facing him.
Legolas originally intended to escape without having to call his beasts since if they had to face a Grade D superhuman, their life would be endangered and the situation would be more chaotic but now, he had no choice.
"F*ck it!"
-----
You have activated active ability: Beast Plane Summoning!
----
Bzzz!
Having felt their master's agitation through their telepathic connection already, all 3 beasts arrived battle-ready to greet the great sword.
Predator roared and took center-stage after activating its Scale Defense active ability. Despite its vitality and defense, a Grade D Pugilist's strength was unstoppable as the sword cut straight through Predator's skin.
"Roar!!!"
Black blood flowed as Predator roared in pain but his life was not endangered, his Darkness Regeneration passive ability kicked in since they were in a dark cave as his injury started visibly healing.
Predator glared at the giant human and was about to retaliate but was stopped by Legolas who still had a bird's eye view of this battlefield.
"Predator, stop!"
"Akela, nature call!"
"Lucky, moon power!"
"Akela, speed demon!"
This was where the Beast Trainer class knowledge came in handy.
Legolas's voice at this moment was like a decree from heaven to the 3 beasts. Predator stopped instantly while Akela activated its nature call active ability, inducing a hurricane that briefly pushed the swordmaster backward.
Lucky followed by activating its moon power active ability. Lucky instantly created an illusion that successfully drew all the psychopaths in including the swordmaster, but against a Grade D Pugilist, it would only last little.
This little time though was all that Legolas needed as Akela finally activated its speed demon active ability. Instantly, its speed increased to a ridiculous level.
Legolas grabbed Prince Christensen and threw him on top Akela, he also mounted the beast as he yelled at his remaining 2 beasts to escape.
Whoosh!
Like the wind, Akela escaped towards the secret passageway.
"HOW DARE YOU TRY TO FOOL ME?!" The swordmaster finally broke free from the illusion as he yelled angrily.
Almost the same time that he woke up, light particles appeared again in the air as Blue River and Horny Assassin spawned again. At the same time, Ghost Sentry also arrived back at the first level of the hideout.
On seeing the direction where the intruders were escaping to, the swordman's eyes widened in shock and alarm as he grabbed his great sword tighter and started sprinting after them in pursuit.
In the end, Legolas's beasts were faster.
They almost entered the secret passageway already before a massive Bull with 4 horns suddenly blocked them, this massive Bull pushed Akela back.
The bull bellowed as a strange energy empowered it from somewhere hidden.
Legolas's eyes widened. "Basic Beast Energy Augmentation!"
"But the swordmaster hideout didn't have such a strong Summoner!"
Legolas's plan was again disrupted by an unknown variable, and this time, it was really costly, the swordmaster finally caught up to them.
"Stand your ground! Fight!" Legolas yelled at his beasts.
Predator roared and led the charge as it pounced on the giant. At the other side, Blue River led the charge as they attacked the swordmaster.
The giant swordmaster grabbed Predator with one hand before head-butting it as Predator roared in pain the next moment, its head suffered a massive crack but its Darkness Regeneration ability proved tenacious.
As for the players, they were no Predator, they stood no chance, one sweep of his great sword was all it took for the swordmaster to annihilate them again.
Horny Assassin's mournful cry reverberated. "Noooo!! My spawn time for the week just finished!"
Legolas's 3 beasts fought an intense battle against the giant Grade D swordmaster and the powerful Grade E Bull here but they were losing.
Legolas made use of all his active abilities and Summoner class knowledge that he could but still, he could not turn the situation around.
The swordmaster's great sword attacks were just too powerful.
Boom!
Legolas was finally hit by the swordmaster's sharp Pugilist energy, he was cut on the chest as blood flowed in waves, causing his beasts to start panicking.
Lucky panicked and gave her all for the first time in a fight but it was not enough. They literally used all their active abilities and trump cards, but the swordmaster was simply too powerful.
After boxing them in one place, leaving them injured, the swordmaster finally raised his great sword to deal the finishing blow.
Instead of looking at the descending great sword, Legolas gritted his teeth and looked at Prince Christensen instead. The next moment, he made a self-damaging move that made him cough more blood instantly.
-----
You have activated active ability: Beast Plane Summoning!
----
The rainbow bridge appeared again, and this time, Legolas and his beasts were not the only ones that traveled through it, he grabbed Prince Christensen and after suffering internal injuries, he was able to force the prince through.
Legolas took them all to the beast plane.
BOOM!
The great sword finally descended, completely destroying the cave floor and environs but the sword did not get its targets, they were gone.
The swordmaster was furious. "WHERE DID THEY GO?!"
